Forum: web Subject: Large site with no entries at all for 2008/2009/2010?

We ran a large message board that had a lot of search engine presence {meaning your robots would haev had no problem finding it}, up until it was deleted in april 2010. now I have records of it dating up to May 2008 but nothing at all after that. The site went by 2 addresses: [X] This is the address under which I can find the entries here dating from Dec 2005 to May 2008. And [X] Our site went by this address starting around early 2008 I believe, and the IA seems to have none of the pages indexed at all for it under this address or the old one after May 2008. We already moved our site to a new address so recovery isn't the issue, research is; I was wondering why I can't find any snapshots of the front page after May 2008 when it had been regularly snapshotting it several times a year up till that point. And no--I never added a robots.txt file nor a meta robots tag at all. Any help appreciated! Thank you :) [editor note: as the answer does not depend on the URLs, they've been deleted from this question]

Lots of material crawled over the past ~2 years has not yet been indexed for access through the Wayback Machine; only when that process has caught up will it be clear if the sites have collected, and to what extent, in this period.
